The carbon upper frame adds protection to the front gear case by transmitting some of the impact force to the rear.
The adjustable arms allow you to change the camber. This is only important when you need to improve traction in corners.

Thanks so much! Ill keep that in mind.. Do you guys use under body lexans to keep dirt away from the inside part of the car? Or you just use it as it is just with higer suspension..

Heres my rally TT01:
Well since I used it for drifting before it pretty much have all the important upgrades for drifting
Aluminum hop ups, Rear diff lockers, front ball diff set, upper carbon, heat sink, ball bearings, univ drive shafts, 23T Yokomo motor and a lot more..
all that I had to do was increase the ride height and install rally block tires..

that's ok,
but on my M-03R mini

What size are the shocks for the TT-01? I bought 60mm and they are far too long. I can use them on my Tamiya Hummer M1025 anyway so they won't go to waste. Should it be 50mm? Do they take the measurements from the center monting holes??

They are advertised as 50 mm which is the distance between mounting holes.

Stock gearing on my Enzo is 61T and 19T. I'm using a 15T Raven motor with an old Novak Explorer II. Battery pack is a 4500Mah. I'd like some more top speed. What would you guys recomend for gearing?? What pitch are the Tamiya gears?

Hey guys, i've got a few questions. This would be my first on road car, so i'm not that knowledgeable about it.

First of all, can the ADVAN courage body fit onto this car? Or do i need to use the 2wd f103 chassis style?

Also, what are the differences between The TT-01R and the TT-01? (and is it worth the price)

Dont think that body would fit m8 as there different chassis,maybe with alot of modding tho..
The R version has some of the hopups already on so you save on buying the important ones to the standard TT

just looked at the specs for the body and the tt01r, and the wheelbase for the body is 10" and for the car it is 10.1"

Also, the body is standard 190mm width, and the tt-01 is just a little shy of this. I think the body would fit fine, but i am wondering about if the tt-01 might be a little tall for the body. If anybody has one of these bodies and a tt-01, then would you please check to see if it might fit. I REALLY love the look of that body, and i am excited that it is made out of thin lexan, instead of the thick heavy plastic usuall found on such detailed parts.

check your local radio shack for gp3300 packs. They are $25 each.

Don't buy them unless the pack is shrink wrapped clear, and the individual cells say gp3300 on them.

they (the cells) look like this:

Since getting this mamba max i'm spending way too much time waiting on spares [] Firstly the damn tyres would not stay on chromed wheels, the glue would stick to the chrome which would just lift off at anything above half throttle.

So i got new tyres and some plain plastic wheels, glued em on and headed out for some fun, after less than a minute the car seemed to have turned into a rear wheel drive ! which was fun for about ...oooh 10 seconds with this much power. Turned out the rear prop shaft cup's shaft was spinning independently of the cup.

So i've ordered some titanium ones. With any luck i might be able to give this thing a good run soon. Once it's all back together with the new prop shaft cup's ill post some pics at least.

If it then holds up to at least one battery run in my garden i'll take it to the beach for some long runs and post some video.

you can use chrome wheels, that's fine. You just have to remember to scrape the chrome off eith an exacto blade where the tire goes on, or carefully sand it off with a dremel making sure that you don't create any flat spots. You can also use plain 'ol sand paper.

That's good advice, thanks. I posted this on another forum and someone else told me the same.

I already got the new wheels tho. Ah well, for my uses im pretty pleased with the plain black dish wheels i got. They keep some of the crap out too, not much, but a little goes a long way.

Thanks for the advice, always appreciated.

Now hold on a second. you lose 2 tyres, smash an arm and your not sure how the battery holder snapped ! [X(] No wonder you don't use lipo's !
